Okay I am reading that the SoapFormatter will be deprecated in Whidbey
(http://weblogs.asp.net/mattavis/archive/2004/08/23/219200.aspx)

So the question I have for "help desk provider" and his followers :) do they
know any other way to copy an object graph quick and easily without have to
manually recurse the graph?

Okay you could say I shouldn't be using it for this but it is quick and
clean....

Cheers

How about the BinaryFormatter?

The main reason for using the SoapFormatter is that it's reasonably easy to
inspect its output by hand. That's the only good reason for using it. If
your only goal is to serialize and deserialize object graphs, the
BinaryFormatter is just as capable, and has the added bonus of generating a
more compact representation.
 
DOH - forgot about it.....
